Quite a different and more recent local association is thus recorded:
'The second time that I stood here was nigh three years ago, when I
spoke to you in relation to John Brown, then in a Virginia jail.
How great the result of that idea which he pressed upon the
country! Do you know with what poetic justice Providence treats
that very town where he lay in jail when I spoke to you before? The
very man who went down from Philadelphia to bring his body back to
his sad relatives-insulted every mile of the road, his life
threatened, the bullets whistling around his head-that very man,
for eight or ten months, is brigadier-general in command of the
town of Charlestown and Harper's Ferry. By order of his superior
officers, he had the satisfaction of finding it his duty, with his
own right hand, to put the torch to that very hotel into which he
had been followed with insult and contumely, as the friend of John
Brown; and when his brigade was under orders to destroy all the
buildings of that neighborhood, with reverential care he bade the
soldiers stop to spare that engine house that once sheltered the
old hero.
